This comes to us from one of our local members. While it is not specifically about food, the movement to empower the 99% has everything to do with food and our health, because it is the 1% that controls the global food supply. In my mind, the topic of where our food comes from and what we can do to take it out of the hands of the agri-biz giants is very much a part of the discussion.
Friends,
We are excited to be informing you about the next EMPOWER THE 99% gathering next week, on Friday, March 23rd, at Unity of the Valley. All pertinent info is below, and in the attached PDF.
We look forward to be seeing you again, continuing to empower the community’s voices, and leading to positive actions from a more engaged and informed citizenry.
Please forward this message to your list of e-associates, and bring a friend on the night of. Also feel free to make a copy of the attached flier and put it up at a neighborhood store.
